Vendors / QSR & drive-thru

GRUBBRR

A kiosk-and-self-checkout hardware/software vendor rather than a POS, and its distinguishing asset is breadth of POS neutrality — it claims integrations with 93+ POS systems including Toast, Square, Clover, NCR, PAR, Oracle, Xenial and Focus — but it publishes no price, no ownership and no developer documentation.

Identity

Owner
Private; self-described as a self-ordering technology startup headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida. Ownership, parent and investors are not disclosed on its own site.
Who it is for
QSR, fast-casual, stadiums/venues and c-stores buying self-ordering kiosks and self-checkout to cut labor and lift ticket, keeping their existing POS.

Pricing

transparency: unknown · unit: unknown (per kiosk and/or per location, quote-only) · processor lock-in: unknown

Software
None published. The pricing page contains an ROI calculator (e.g. an illustrative '$75K per year' per-store return) and a 20% average upsell-lift claim, plus 'setup in as few as 48 hrs' — but no subscription tiers, kiosk hardware prices or contract terms. All pricing routes through a sales call (sales@grubbrr.com, 855-547-8227).

Capabilities

Every claim is binary and checkable. Grades: A primary documentation · B product documentation · C pricing or feature page · D marketing claim · E third-party reporting · F inference with no source. A yes on a differentiator claim requires A or B.

Order capture & FOH workflow

Unknown

Provides a graphical floor-plan editor where an operator can draw sections, place tables of varying shape/capacity, save multiple floor-plan layouts per location, and assign sections to servers.

order-capture-floor-plan-editor

Not scored by this record.

Partial

Supports splitting a check by item, by seat, by even N-way, and by arbitrary dollar/percentage amount, and merging checks or tables back together, including after partial payment.

order-capture-split-merge

Overturns a `no` whose prior rationale -- that GRUBBRR has no POS product, so check splitting and merging stay with the integrated POS -- is contradicted by GRUBBRR's own published prose: 'The customers can even split group orders and payments and speed up the end-of-service process.' The same sentence appears on /industry-template/ and /products/product-template/, and the knowledge-base article Version 14 Beta Deployment Notes lists, among its fixes, one made to partial payments for WorldPay, so a split-tender path demonstrably exists on the kiosk. Held at partial, not yes, because the claim requires four split modes plus merge and nothing documents any of them: across the full 549-document corpus (283 knowledge-base articles + 266 grubbrr.com posts and pages) `split check`, `merge check` and `merge tables` each occur zero times, and there is no check or table object for a merge to operate on -- a kiosk cart is finalised in one transaction. Graded C because the only affirmative statement is marketing prose; the vendor publishes no operational article on splitting. https://grubbrr.com/grubbrr-software-integration/ · retrieved 2026-09-09

Partial

With the internet down, terminals and handhelds can still create orders, apply modifiers, send to kitchen, and tender cash, and the vendor publishes what does and does not work offline.

order-capture-offline-order-entry

CLAIM: with the internet down, terminals/handhelds still create orders, apply modifiers, send to kitchen and tender cash, AND the vendor publishes what does and does not work offline. VERDICT: unknown -> partial/B. The kiosk's own shipped source implements store-and-forward ordering with a direct-to-KDS fallback and blocks only online-dependent tenders; but GRUBBRR publishes no offline-scope statement (help.grubbrr.com 186-article Pylon KB: store-and-forward/queued/cached = 0, prior pass), so the publication conjunct fails. EVIDENCE (https://kiosk-preview.merchant.grubbrr.com/main.71026c23b5100e348186.js.map): src/app/components/order-review/order-review-footer/order-review-footer.component.ts: "console.log('sending order to kds direct with timeout of 5 seconds'); await this.kdsService.sendToKds(orderData);" in the error branch of "this.dataService.IsOnlineCheckSK().pipe(timeout(5000))"; when submitOrderAsync fails: "this.paymentService.setOrderToOfflineDb(orderData);". src/app/services/payment.service.ts setOrderToOfflineDb: "listObjOrderMasterData[0].IsOrderFailed = 'true';" then inserts order items AND "listOrderItemModifier" rows into the local DB. src/app/services/offline-order.service.ts: "select * from OrderMasters where IsOrderFailed='true'" re-sent by a timer loop ('Offline Order loop called', app.component.ts) and a manager-settings button "Process Offline Transaction" (settings-order-history.component.html). src/app/services/kds.service.ts sendToKds routes items per kitchen via local "Kitchen_Item_Mapping"/"Kitchen_Ingredient_Mapping" tables to "kdsm.KDSIPAddress". Tender scope: order-review-footer "// Check for offline in US connect payment" requires IsOnlineCheckSK for Card (non-Verifone), HouseCredit, USConnect, IDCard, RFID and otherwise shows 'device_offline_error'; other payment types (EPaymentType.Cash = 1) skip the check.

order-capture-scheduled-orders

CLAIM: future-dated orders with per-channel lead time, injected at a computed fire time. VERDICT: partial/A - GRUBBRR's QR/online ordering has a per-location future-order switch and the legacy kiosk order carries a pickup date. SHORTFALL: no lead-time setting and no fire-time or hold-and-release logic is defined in any spec (the only computed kitchen delay is the Toast-only Order Promise Time already recorded, which is POS-side and applies to immediate orders). EVIDENCE: https://api.nge.grubbrr.com/swagger/v1/swagger.json schema App.QROrdering.Models.LocationSetting: "pickupEnabled", "deliveryEnabled", "curbsideEnabled", "onlineOrderPaused", "tableOrderingEnabled", "futureOrderEnabled":{"type":"boolean"}, "timeZone"; https://api.merchant.grubbrr.com/swagger/v1/swagger.json schema LegacyKioskApi.Models.OrderMasterReq: "pickupDate", "pickupDateUTC".

Each spec is a complete enumeration of ITS OWN API only; other GRUBBRR APIs exist but are not anonymous (sandbox.api.nge and test.api.ecm return 403; api.gem serves an Azure Functions placeholder; endpoint calls return 401), so the specs are not a platform census.

Menu, modifiers & pricing engine

Partial

Supports modifier groups nested at least three levels deep, each level with independent min/max selection counts and a forced-selection (required) flag.

menu-pricing-nested-modifiers

CLAIM: Modifier groups nested at least three levels deep, each level with independent min/max and a forced-selection flag. VERDICT: partial/B - GRUBBRR's own (standalone-kiosk) menu model documents nested modifier groups with per-group min/max, and required selection via minimums. SHORTFALL: a depth of three or more is not documented - the vendor only advises against more than two layers. EVIDENCE: 'Intro to Nested Modifiers in the GRUBBRR Portal' (https://help.grubbrr.com/articles/6247843734-intro-to-nested-modifiers-in-the-grubbrr-portal): "Nested modifiers are modifier groups within modifier groups or choices within choices. ... Selections are modifiers that trigger an additional modifier group (they act as a gateway modifier)"; "The nested modifier creation screen is the same as the normal modifier group creation screen. Make any necessary edits to the minimum and maximum quantity"; "Avoid creating more than two layers of nesting for any given menu item". 'Building your First Menu #9: How to Create Modifier Groups' (https://help.grubbrr.com/articles/9803111447-building-your-first-menu-9-how-to-create-modifier-groups): "The Minimum and Maximum Selections a guest can make in the group". 'How to use Builder Mode in the GRUBBRR Portal' (https://help.grubbrr.com/articles/5659270819-how-to-use-builder-mode-in-the-grubbrr-portal): "items in Builder Mode generally have a Minimum selection requirement ... guests must choose at least one base"; option "Builder Mode- Require All Steps Before Add to Cart". All three are in the First Generation Platform collection; integrated-POS menus follow the POS's own model. SURFACE: help.grubbrr.com has MIGRATED from the Salesforce guest knowledge API (282 articles, prior pass; that endpoint now returns the KB's 404 page) to a Pylon knowledge base.

B
No

A single modifier can carry different prices depending on the parent item and the selected size, configured as a matrix rather than by duplicating the modifier.

menu-pricing-modifier-price-by-parent-size

The knowledge base documents exactly two ways to price a modifier and neither is a parent-by-size matrix. Common Modifiers carry one shared 'Extra Price' per ingredient and are then bulk-mapped to items ('How to Edit Modifier Prices in the GRUBBRR Portal' + 'Building your First Menu #10'), so the price is identical on every parent. The documented way to get a different price on a different parent is this article's route: build a separate modifier group under the individual item, where 'you can also add upcharges for specific modifiers in this table' — i.e. duplication, which the claim explicitly excludes. Size is a separate construct entirely ('Intro to Variation Modifiers': one variation group per item, each option carrying its own additive price) and does not intersect modifier pricing. For POS-integrated menus GRUBBRR does not set modifier prices at all. https://help.grubbrr.com/s/article/Building-your-First-Menu-11-Mapping-Modifiers-to-a-Single-Item · retrieved 2026-08-03

B
Partial

Supports modifier quantity tiers (light / regular / extra / double) with a configurable price multiplier per tier, distinct from adding the modifier twice.

menu-pricing-topping-quantity-tiers

Quantity/style tiers exist only as NCR modifier codes: 'codes- such as "no," "light," "extra," or "on the side"- can be selected by customers at the kiosk and will be printed on the KOT'. Shortfalls, all stated by the article: the feature is NCR-integration-only; 'GRUBBRR can not add or remove modifier codes from the Portal... All modifier codes must be defined in the client's POS before we pull the menu'; a maximum of four active codes per ingredient with one mandatory default; and no per-tier price multiplier is documented anywhere — the codes are described purely as prefixes sent to the kitchen printer. GRUBBRR's own quantity mechanism ('How to Enable Aggregate Mode for High Volume Modifiers', with Choice Increment and min/max aggregate quantities) is repeat-selection counting, which the claim distinguishes from tiering. https://help.grubbrr.com/s/article/How-to-apply-NCR-Modifier-Codes-in-the-GRUBBRR-Portal · retrieved 2026-08-03

First-party gift cards with real-time balance tracking, redeemable across every location in the group and through the online-ordering channel.

Gift cards exist on the kiosk but are not GRUBBRR's own program. Redemption is enumerated in the v14 release notes' Payments section as a single third-party integration: 'Paytronix Giftcard - Users must enter the Gift Card Number on the Kiosk to redeem their balance.' Sale is a location-level toggle only: General Settings > Common > Gift Cards, 'Allow Purchase of Gifts Cards using Kiosk' ('Common Kiosk Configurations in the GRUBBRR Portal'). Named shortfalls: no first-party card issuance or balance ledger is documented anywhere in the 282-article knowledge base (balance is held by Paytronix and read by entering the card number); no cross-location redemption scope is stated; and no online-ordering-channel gift card flow is documented - GRUBBRR's online-ordering channel appears only as an order-type checkbox.

Combined with kitchen mapping ('How to Manage Kitchens in the GRUBBRR Portal': items are sent to a specific kitchen or all kitchens, each with its own printer and/or KDS).

EVIDENCE: https://api.merchant.grubbrr.com/swagger/v1/swagger.json, schemas GRUBBRR.Application.LegacyKDSApi.Models.KdsVM, LegacyKDSApi.KdsDeviceUpdate and LegacyKioskApi.Models.KDSSettingReq (the KDS settings bodies behind POST /api/kiosk/legacy/UpdateKDSSetting and PUT /api/location/{locationId}/kds/upsert) each define "useBumpBar":{"type":"boolean"} alongside the other KDS display settings ("showDelayOrderButton", "isAutoScrollToNewOrders", "numberOfTicketsVisible", "hideActions"). The field has no description. WEAKNESS: a bare boolean shows a bump-bar input mode exists, not which hardware. SURFACE (new, 2026-09-16): three ANONYMOUS OpenAPI 3.0.1 specs, found via the crt.sh certificate listing of %.grubbrr.com (202 names) plus /swagger probes: https://api.merchant.grubbrr.com/swagger/v1/swagger.json ('GRUBBRR.Web.UI', 170 paths, 221 schemas, 502 KB), https://api.nge.grubbrr.com/swagger/v1/swagger.json ('Grubbrr API', 86 paths, 271 schemas, 384 KB) and https://api.nge.grubbrr.com/swagger/partner-v1/swagger.json ('GRUBBRR Partner Ordering API', 20 operations, listed in the api.nge Swagger UI index). Each spec is a complete enumeration of ITS OWN API only; other GRUBBRR APIs exist but are not anonymous (sandbox.api.nge and test.api.ecm return 403; api.gem serves an Azure Functions placeholder; endpoint calls return 401), so the specs are not a platform census.

Delivery, dispatch & third-party channels

No

Product includes a native in-house driver module: drivers are first-class entities with clock-in/out, assignment state (in-store / on-run / returning), and per-driver run history reportable from the POS itself (not via a third-party add-on).

delivery-driver-roster

Upheld and now cited. GRUBBRR is a self-ordering front end, and this article states that in integrated mode 'all orders are finalized through the POS.' -- fulfilment, including any delivery leg, belongs to the merchant's POS, not to GRUBBRR. For the standalone mode the absence is measured directly: across all 283 published knowledge-base articles (enumerated via the Salesforce guest knowledge API at help.grubbrr.com/services/data/v59.0/support/knowledgeArticles, which returns every article the record already cited) the terms `driver`, `dispatch` and `courier` each occur zero times, and there is no employee record type for a driver -- Employee Management stores only a name, a 4-digit access code, a phone number, an email and a role. The nine products in the published catalogue are Self-Ordering Kiosks, Line Buster, Contactless Ordering, Order Progress Board, Self-Checkout, Kitchen Display, Digital Menu Board, Drive-Thru and Food Locker; none is a driver module. https://help.grubbrr.com/s/article/Introduction-to-POS-Integrations · retrieved 2026-09-09

Provides a dedicated dispatch/expo screen showing undispatched orders, driver availability, and elapsed time per order, with multi-order run batching (assigning 2+ orders to one driver as a single run).

delivery-dispatch-board

Upheld and now cited. The documented order path ends at the merchant's back of house, not at a GRUBBRR dispatch surface: 'The POS processes the order through the location's Back of House environment and returns an Order ID to the GRUBBRR Portal'. GRUBBRR does ship two order-status screens -- the Kitchen Display System and the Order Progress Board -- but both are prep-and-pickup displays; neither shows undispatched orders, driver availability or run batching, and `dispatch` occurs zero times in all 283 knowledge-base articles; its single occurrence in the whole 549-document corpus is in the kiosk EULA, where the word describes GRUBBRR sending an e-mail notice. `driver` and `courier` are likewise zero across the knowledge base. https://help.grubbrr.com/s/article/Introduction-to-POS-Integrations · retrieved 2026-09-09

Digital ordering & guest-facing channels

Partial

Guests can create an account with saved addresses, saved (tokenized) payment methods, and one-tap reorder of a previous order across first-party channels.

digital-account-saved-payment

One-tap reorder is present and is a default of the loyalty flow: a signed-in guest sees 'their past five Kiosk orders from any of your locations' and selecting an item 'will automatically apply all of the same customizations from the customer's past order'. Version 14 added the same flow for non-loyalty guests via a guest sign-in. Shortfalls: no tokenized saved card is documented anywhere — the only account-based payment methods in the knowledge base are ID Pay / Member Pay, prepaid monthly-allowance accounts keyed to a member ID or scanned ID card, and house accounts; and no saved-address concept exists, consistent with there being no first-party delivery. https://help.grubbrr.com/s/article/How-Past-Orders-Works-With-Loyalty-or-with-GRUBBRR-Frequent-Customer · retrieved 2026-08-03

Maintains a single guest profile that automatically merges transactions from in-store POS, first-party web/app ordering, and kiosk under one identity (phone or email match), with documented dedup/merge behavior.

Shortfalls: the documented history is explicitly kiosk orders only and capped at five, with nothing describing merge of in-store POS or first-party web/app transactions into the same profile; identity is held by the loyalty provider, with GRUBBRR configuring only login method (QR, phone or email), points display and redemption; and no dedup/merge behaviour is documented in any article. https://help.grubbrr.com/s/article/How-Past-Orders-Works-With-Loyalty-or-with-GRUBBRR-Frequent-Customer · retrieved 2026-08-03

Supports at least two of points-per-dollar, visit/punch-count, and spend-tier accrual as configuration, without custom development or a bolt-on loyalty vendor.

guest-loyalty-accrual-models

329th: NOW PUBLISHABLE AS NO, on a COMPLETE census of GRUBBRR's own configuration app. SURFACE (new): console.grubbrr.com, title "GRUBBRR Enterprise Console" (SvelteKit, anonymous login page). Its entry bundle /_app/immutable/entry/app.BkIEgCT8.js ships __vite__mapDeps with 315 file paths; fetched to a fixpoint (2 rounds, 9 further files discovered inside the chunks) = 324/324 files at 200, 0 misses, 28.3 MB, 4,995,244 tokens; a nonsense sibling entry (app.ZZQNONSENSE.js) 404s with a 2,400 B body, so the host discriminates. The app ships the FULL protobuf message registry for every service it calls, i.e. a field-level enumeration, plus 701 distinct endpoint paths incl. the whole /v1/<Service>/<Method> catalogue. THE DECISIVE ENUMERATION: loyalty configuration is a protobuf `oneof instrument` with exactly nine alternatives - cloverSportConfig, paytronixIntegrationConfig, punchhIntegrationConfig, genericIntegrationConfig, paytronixOloIntegrationConfig, rbiIntegrationConfig, oloPunchhIntegrationConfig, spendGoIntegrationConfig, grubbrrFrequentCustomerConfig - eight of which are bolt-on providers, and the ONE first-party alternative is declared with an EMPTY field list: `super("GrubbrrFrequentCustomerConfig",[])`. GRUBBRR's own guest programme therefore has zero configurable parameters: no points-per-dollar, no punch/visit count, no spend tier. The wider first-party "Frequent Customer" surface is a ROSTER plus a login discount, not an accrual engine: console routes /frequent-customer, /frequent-customer-sign-up, /frequent-customer/bulk (bulk upload, frequent_customer_import_template), /frequent-customer/confirm, /frequent-customer/order; flags EnableFrequentCustomers, enableFrequentCustomerLoginDiscounts, isFrequentCustomersEnabled; LoyaltyDisplaySettingsConfigVM_FrequentCustomerDiscountApplicationModeEnum = {ManualSelect=0, AutoApply=1} (HOW a discount is applied, not how it is earned); reporting only (FrequentCustomerReportApi, CustomerSummaryOutputDto.frequentCustomerOrderPercentage). The complete LoyaltyService method list is likewise provider-plumbing only: GetDiscountTenders, GetIntegrationDefinitions, GetLocationConfig, GetLocationIntegrationDefinitions, PullLoyaltyConfiguration, RemoveIntegrationDefinition, UpdateLocationConfig, UpdateLoyaltyDisplaySettings, UpdateSquareLocationConfig, UpdateSquareLoyaltyDisplaySettings, UpsertIntegrationDefinition (+ CompaniesService/AddSqaureLoyaltyIntegration, KioskConfigService/Get|UpdateLoyaltyFeatureFlag, UpdateAllowRealTimeRewardValidationFlag). The 119 *Loyalty*/*IntegrationConfig* message names are all provider adapters (Brusters, Como, DeliverEct, Demo, Incentivo, NCR, Olo, OloLoyaltyV2, PARRetail, Paytronix, Punchh, Qubriux, RBI, Sparkfly, SpendGo, Square, Thanx) or display/lookup DTOs (LoyaltyColorsVM, LoyaltyDisplaySettingsConfigVM, LoyaltyUserVisitInfo = provider-returned visit data, showLoyaltyPointsOnHeader). CONTROLS, tokenised, over the 4,995,244-token console census: accru*=0, pointsPer=0, stamp*=4 (all the word "stamp" in timestamp contexts), referrizer=0, levelup=0; punch*=294 and punchh=158 are ALL the vendor Punchh (poison - a substring trap this cell hit before), paytronix=34 likewise. SECOND COMPLETE APP: portal.merchant.grubbrr.com (SMB Console, Angular) main.4f3429438223a423.js 7.03 MB (1,128,321 tokens) + the runtime's only two lazy chunks (574.ba395f5895c16b04.js, 919.62614f46a762bb5b.js) = the whole app: accru*=0, pointsPer=0, punchh=0, paytronix=0, word-boundary tier=0, earn=3 and the only loyalty content is a kiosk PREVIEW graphic ("LOYALTY PROGRAM / Earn Rewards! / Get discounts and offers with our fantastic customer loyalty program", img customerLoginLoyalty.png) - no earn rule; points*=146 and visit*=100 there are chart.js pointStyle/pointStrokeColor and Angular/babel visitor-AST poison. Together with the previously recorded closed kiosk enum (LoyaltyType {None, OLOPunchh, Referrizer, LevelUp, OLOPaytronix}) and the 3 published specs' provider-pointer LoyaltySettingVM, every configuration surface GRUBBRR ships enumerates loyalty as a third-party provider, which is exactly what the claim excludes. BOUND: the two Consoles are GRUBBRR's own and only merchant-facing configuration apps; this does not speak to what a provider like Punchh offers inside its own product.

Labor & workforce

Partial

Employees clock in and out at the POS terminal using a PIN, badge, or card, with no separate time-clock hardware required.

labor-clock-in-at-pos

Overturns a `no` whose prior rationale -- no POS terminal and no labor module -- is wrong on the second half: GRUBBRR does have an employee module. This article documents it -- 'GRUBBRR creates access codes for "Employee" Accounts, which are configured through the GRUBBRR Portal.' -- with each employee carrying a name, a custom 4-digit access code and a role, and it states that 'Access codes are also used on the POS for opening and closing tills, opening the cash drawer, and other functions.' The separate article How to Access Basic Reports in the GRUBBRR Portal adds an Employee Attendance section to the Z Report which, where employee management is in use, lists employee shifts and hours. Held at partial because the claim's mechanism is not documented: no article describes a clock-in or clock-out action, GRUBBRR ships no POS terminal of its own (the tills and cash drawer named here are the integrated third-party POS), and the terms `clock in`, `clock out`, `time clock`, `timesheet` and `payroll` occur zero times across all 283 knowledge-base articles. https://help.grubbrr.com/s/article/How-to-Find-Edit-Access-Codes-for-the-Kiosk-in-the-GRUBBRR-Portal · retrieved 2026-09-09

Temporary users can additionally carry a start and end date. Shortfalls: the privilege set governs GRUBBRR Portal features and settings, not register actions — void, comp, drawer-open and price-change have no equivalent because there is no terminal or cash drawer; scoping is documented at two levels (company or location), not per location group; and the actual list of grantable privileges is published only as a screenshot inside the article, so the granularity cannot be verified from text. https://help.grubbrr.com/s/article/How-to-manage-Users-Roles-in-the-GRUBBRR-Portal · retrieved 2026-08-03

CONTROLS, tokenised, over the console census: approver*=0, approve*=0, immutab*=0, supervisor*=0; approval*=17 and every hit is either isRequiresManagerApproval/staffApprovalRequired (the settings above) or `approvalCode` in card-payment data (poison); audit*=54 and EVERY hit is menu-configuration audit (MenuAuditEntityCountDto {name, totalCount, itemWithoutImageCount, unassignedCategoriesCount, unassignedItemsCount, posDeletedRecordsCount}, MenuAuditEntityDto, route /menu-manager/menu-audit) - a config-drift count, not a transaction log. The two candidate audit-shaped surfaces both fail on inspection: /users/track-action posts `TrackUserActionCommand = {actionType (enum 0|12|13|14|15), sessionId, summary, data}` with NO user field - UI telemetry, not attribution; and GEM/Event Monitor (/gem2, /gem/event-monitor/, nav "Support > Events") is an alerting tool whose table columns are Scenario, Scenario Description, Status, Actions/"View Logs" - scenario monitoring, not a user-action trail. The enumerated reporting catalogue has no audit report either: /insights/{glance, sales-analytics, product-analytics, discounts-analytics, order-timing-analytics, aborted-orders-analytics, store-performance-analytics, upsell-analytics, upsell-summary, user-behavior-analytics, system-health-analytics, customer-surveys, benchmark-report, custom-reports-analytics}. SECOND COMPLETE APP: portal.merchant.grubbrr.com (SMB Console, Angular) main.4f3429438223a423.js 7.03 MB (1,128,321 tokens) + the runtime chunk table's only two lazy chunks = the whole app: audit*=0, approv*=0, approver*=0, immutab*=0, supervisor*=0. THIRD SURFACE (already held): the kiosk's own source map shows the approval itself is unattributed - manager-pin-dialog.component.ts checks "SELECT * FROM StaffMasters WHERE Code=?" and logs only `new loggingData('KIOSK','Manager Login','Log','Manager login clicked.',false)`, with no staff id and nothing written to the order. So across every app GRUBBRR ships, manager approvals exist, are not attributed to an individual approver, and no immutable queryable trail of them is offered: all three conjuncts of the claim fail. BOUND: production JS of GRUBBRR's two merchant Consoles plus the kiosk app (grade B, not A - this is shipped code, not published documentation); a server-side trail GRUBBRR never exposes in its own admin UI or reports would not be visible here, which is the one residual risk.

Inventory, purchasing & cost control

No

Supports multi-level recipe/BOM costing where a recipe can contain sub-recipes (prep items) and plate cost recalculates automatically when any component ingredient's cost changes.

inventory-recipe-bom-costing

Upheld, but the previous rationale -- that the published catalogue holds no inventory or recipe-costing module -- was false in its first half and is replaced: GRUBBRR does publish an inventory module, and this article is its complete scope -- 'how to enable inventory management for individual items, how to create and manage your "on-hand" stock, and how to enable automated notifications when your inventory reaches a preset "low stock" threshold.' That is finished-goods depletion of menu items, not ingredient costing. There is no bill of materials, no sub-recipe and no plate cost: `recipe` occurs zero times across all 283 knowledge-base articles, and GRUBBRR's own use of the word ingredient is a redefinition that runs the other way: the knowledge-base article Intro to Nested Modifiers in the GRUBBRR Portal defines any modifier that does not trigger a further choice as an Ingredient, so an ingredient in this product is a modifier option on a menu, not a stocked raw material. Nothing recalculates a cost when a component price changes. https://help.grubbrr.com/s/article/How-to-use-Inventory-Tracking-in-the-GRUBBRR-Portal · retrieved 2026-09-09

inventory-unit-conversion-yields

Upheld, with the previous rationale -- that the published catalogue holds no inventory module -- replaced: an inventory module exists, and this article shows that its stock figure is a single undimensioned integer per menu item: 'You can manually change an item stock in the "Add Current Stock" field', and 'You can both add and subtract from your stock with this field.' The screen is titled Ready Item Stock and carries two numeric columns, Stock on Hand and Low Threshold. No purchase unit, recipe unit or count unit is stored and no conversion factor exists anywhere: `unit of measure`, `par level` and `yield` each occur zero times across all 283 knowledge-base articles. A case-to-pound-to-ounce conversion is not expressible. https://help.grubbrr.com/s/article/How-to-Manually-Update-your-Item-Inventory-in-the-GRUBBRR-Portal · retrieved 2026-09-09

inventory-count-modes

Upheld, with the previous rationale -- that the published catalogue holds no inventory module -- replaced: an inventory module exists, but it offers exactly one adjustment mode and no count session at all. Stock moves in two ways only: automatic depletion on sale, since 'The GRUBBRR portal will automatically begin subtracting sold items from this listing, so it's best to update these settings outside of normal business hours.', and a typed delta into the Add Current Stock field. There is no full physical count, no spot count and no scheduled cycle count, and no variance is computed or retained -- an adjustment overwrites the on-hand figure and the article documents no history. `cycle count` and `stock count` each occur zero times across all 283 knowledge-base articles; the single occurrence of the word variance anywhere in the corpus is the Z Report's cash-management line, which is about cash, not stock. https://help.grubbrr.com/s/article/How-to-Manually-Update-your-Item-Inventory-in-the-GRUBBRR-Portal · retrieved 2026-09-09

Reporting, BI & data access

Partial

Provides a live sales dashboard reflecting transactions within minutes of the sale, accessible from both a browser and a mobile app off-premise.

Browser dashboards exist at both levels — a Company Dashboard tracking KPIs across all active locations plus a Location Dashboard with Sales, Item Mix, Payment Types and a KPI panel ('Introduction to the GRUBBRR Portal Dashboard'), and the Console's 'At a Glance' dashboard with Sales, Upsells, Device Health, Aborted Orders and Store Performance tiles. Shortfall on latency, stated by the vendor: 'This dashboard updates at 6 AM, 10 AM, 2PM, 6PM and 10PM Eastern Time every day' — five refreshes a day, not within minutes of the sale. The Portal dashboard's refresh cadence is not stated anywhere, and device telemetry is separately documented as heartbeat-based with up to a 15-minute lag.

Generates a daily close-out/EOD report reconciling gross sales, net sales, tax, tips, discounts, refunds, tender types, and expected cash deposit in one document.

reporting-eod-closeout

Overturns a `no` whose prior rationale -- no cash drawer or tender reconciliation, with EOD left to the integrated POS -- is directly contradicted by this article. GRUBBRR publishes a Z Report that is the EOD packet the claim describes: 'Z Reports summarize all data for selected dates, including sales, taxes, tips, discounts, refunds, and employee attendance.' Its enumerated sections cover every element the claim requires in one document -- gross sales ('Gross Sales The total amount of revenue generated from selling product'), net sales, Amount Collected, tender types ('Payment Types This breaks down total sales for the selected period by payment type'), Channel Sales, a Credit Card Sales Breakdown, Fees, Discounts & Loyalty, Sales by Category, a Canceled Orders Summary covering voided and refunded orders, Tip and Gratuity summaries, and cash reconciliation: 'Cash Management Summary Shows all cash management data, including variance'. It is a true business-day close, not a calendar-day cut: 'If your business operates past midnight, you can set a custom report cut-off time in the Portal. This way, the orders between midnight and closing are factored into the same business day.' The report is runnable from the Portal, a POS or a kiosk, and its layout is customisable. https://help.grubbrr.com/s/article/How-to-Access-Basic-Reports-in-the-GRUBBRR-Portal · retrieved 2026-09-09

reporting-pmix-modifier-level

A Product Mix report exists under Reports > Sales > Product Mix and 'will show the assortment of items sold for a specifically selected date filter... can also be refined to show items from a specific category'. Shortfalls: the documented breakdown is item-level with a category filter only — no modifier-level line, and no daypart or revenue-centre filter; the article does not state which measures the report carries (the quantity/gross/net breakdown the claim asks for is described for the Z Report, not for Product Mix).

Multi-location, franchise & enterprise governance

Partial

Supports a named organizational hierarchy of at least three levels (e.g. enterprise > region/group > location) as a first-class object that reporting and permissions can be scoped to, not just a flat list of locations.

multi-location-org-hierarchy

More than a flat list: the Console has a Scope tool switching between Enterprise and Location views, an Organizations object administered under Support > Organizations & Users, and a grouping layer above the store that reporting uses — 'Store Performance provides a detailed breakdown of the active location against other locations in the organization/location group' — with a 'Location Group ID' issued by GRUBBRR Operations during Clover Sport setup. Shortfalls: the group tier is never documented as an operator-manageable object (no article covers creating or editing a location group), and permissions do not scope to it — 'How to manage Users & Roles' places user access at 'the company or location level' only, so the third level exists for analytics but not for permission grants. https://help.grubbrr.com/s/article/Using-GRUBBRR-Analytics · retrieved 2026-08-03

A corporate-level menu can be authored once and published to a chosen set of locations in a single action, with a publish/version history showing what was pushed, when, and by whom.

multi-location-central-menu-publish

Enterprise Configuration Management is real central authoring: a Master Menu Dataset built from all onboarded POS menus, custom datasets defining which categories/items each cohort offers, a parallel Master Kiosk settings dataset, and deployment jobs where 'we can assign which locations will be included, which datasets to share, and when to apply the changes', clonable for later updates. Shortfalls named by the vendor: 'With ECM, we don't have a one-button "push to Kiosk" option; instead, we set up custom deployments' — publishing is a configured job, not a single action; and no publish/version history recording what was pushed, when and by whom is documented for deployments (the 'Menu Audits' and GEM user-event tracking in the v15 notes cover menu record changes, not deployment runs). https://help.grubbrr.com/s/article/ECM-Functions-Best-Practices · retrieved 2026-08-03

Supports price tiers/zones so one menu item carries different prices per location group, per order channel, and per daypart without duplicating the item record.

multi-location-price-zones

The docs enumerate what is authored centrally and price is deliberately excluded: 'Categories, Items, Modifier Groups, Modifiers, Combos, Upsells, and Discounts are all configured at the Company level. Menu Prices, Item 86 Status, General settings, and Kiosk settings are all configured at the Location level', and 'All menu prices are still defined at the location level.' The ECM path says the same — 'When an organization uses ECM controls, prices are managed by the POS at each individual location' — and the v14.6 enhancement was only the ability to view location pricing from the enterprise menu manager, not set it. There is therefore no price tier/zone object: differential pricing is inherited from each store's POS, and no per-channel or per-daypart price variant is documented either. https://help.grubbrr.com/s/article/How-Company-Level-Menu-Management-works-with-POS-Integrations · retrieved 2026-08-03

Terminals continue to take orders, print to kitchen, and record cash sales with the internet down, and the vendor documents explicitly which functions degrade (card auth, loyalty lookup, refunds).

hardware-offline-mode

The vendor's documented answer to an offline terminal is to stop selling, not to degrade: kiosks on v12.5+ 'can be set up to block any orders when the device is offline', displaying 'a pop-up to let customers know that the device can't connect to the internet, and to speak to location staff instead' — the article summary states 'the Kiosk will automatically direct customers to the POS if the device is offline'. There is no continued-offline operation behind the flag, because 'Introduction to POS Integrations' documents that every order round-trips the cloud mid-transaction: the kiosk submits the order total to the GRUBBRR Portal, 'the Portal submits the order total back to the POS for verification', payment is taken only after the verified total returns, and the guest receipt prints only after the Portal returns the POS's Order ID. No article documents offline capture or queueing, offline cash recording, or an enumerated list of degraded functions; knowledge-base searches (282 published articles) for offline, internet, network connection and store-and-forward return only device-down alerting (Cockpit) and this blocking flag.

Integrations, API & extensibility

No

Public, self-serve API reference documentation is readable without a signed partner agreement, NDA, or sales call.

extensibility-public-api-docs

Upheld and now cited. GRUBBRR routes integration through a sales conversation rather than self-serve documentation -- after naming its supported POS platforms the FAQ says 'If you use a different provider, our sales team can discuss custom integration options.' No developer surface exists to read: developers., docs., developer. and apidocs.grubbrr.com do not resolve; /developers/, /developer/, /docs/, /api-docs/ and /swagger/ on the main host all return the WordPress 404 page, byte-identical to a fabricated control path. api.grubbrr.com is live but publishes nothing -- and it is a trap for a future pass, because any single-segment path under it (including /swagger and /openapi.json) 301s to the grubbrr.com marketing home page and so reads as HTTP 200 at 502,215 bytes, exactly as the fabricated control does, while its bare root and any deeper path return a 54-byte 404. `swagger` and `openapi` occur zero times across the full 549-document corpus; the word endpoint appears once, as part of a firewall hostname in a device-whitelisting guide. The API tokens the knowledge base does document are credentials GRUBBRR asks the merchant to mint in Clover, NCR or Olo so that GRUBBRR can consume those vendors' APIs -- not an API GRUBBRR exposes. The 'Open API' phrase on two marketing pages is a positioning claim with no reference behind it. https://grubbrr.com/faq/ · retrieved 2026-09-09

Third-party apps authenticate via OAuth 2.0 with scoped, operator-granted, individually revocable permissions (not shared static API keys or credential sharing).

extensibility-oauth-partner-apps

CLAIM: third-party apps authenticate via OAuth 2.0 with scoped, operator-granted, individually revocable permissions, not shared static keys. VERDICT: partial/A - GRUBBRR publishes a partner authentication scheme with per-partner-device, rotating, individually disableable credentials bound to one location, but it is NOT OAuth 2.0 and has no permission scopes. EVIDENCE: 'GRUBBRR Partner Ordering API' (https://api.nge.grubbrr.com/swagger/partner-v1/swagger.json) info.description: "Partner-facing Ordering API for voice-AI and drive-through integrations ... Callers authenticate as a Partner Ordering device (JWT claim deviceType=ExternalDevice). Your GRUBBRR administrator provisions the device once and gives you a single-use enrollment code. Then: 1. Register - redeem the enrollment code at POST /auth/register to get the device's first refresh token. 2. Refresh - exchange the refresh token at POST /auth/refresh for a short-lived access token (this also rotates the refresh token, so persist the new one each time) ... Company and location always come from the access token - never the request body." POST /auth/register: "Returns 401 for an unknown or expired code, or one that has already been redeemed; 403 when the location is not licensed or the device has been disabled." POST /auth/refresh: "a fresh access token (valid 3 days) plus a rotated, single-use refresh token (valid 14 days)". SHORTFALLS: a custom enrollment/refresh-token flow, not OAuth 2.0; no scopes (a token reaches the whole partner API for its location); provisioning is by "your GRUBBRR administrator", with no operator consent screen documented. The OAuth2 authorizationCode scheme in the other two specs (Auth0 tenant prod-grubbrr-identity, scopes openid/profile/email) is first-party user sign-in, not partner grants. No app marketplace found. SURFACE (new, 2026-09-16): three ANONYMOUS OpenAPI 3.0.1 specs, found via the crt.sh certificate listing of %.grubbrr.com (202 names) plus /swagger probes: https://api.merchant.grubbrr.com/swagger/v1/swagger.json ('GRUBBRR.Web.UI', 170 paths, 221 schemas, 502 KB), https://api.nge.grubbrr.com/swagger/v1/swagger.json ('Grubbrr API', 86 paths, 271 schemas, 384 KB) and https://api.nge.grubbrr.com/swagger/partner-v1/swagger.json ('GRUBBRR Partner Ordering API', 20 operations, listed in the api.nge Swagger UI index). Each spec is a complete enumeration of ITS OWN API only; other GRUBBRR APIs exist but are not anonymous (sandbox.api.nge and test.api.ecm return 403; api.gem serves an Azure Functions placeholder; endpoint calls return 401), so the specs are not a platform census.

extensibility-webhooks-push

329th: NOW PUBLISHABLE AS NO. The publisher's OWN spec manifest is a census of what GRUBBRR publishes: https://api.nge.grubbrr.com/swagger/index.html enumerates exactly two spec groups ("urls":[{"url":"/swagger/v1/swagger.json","name":"Grubbrr API V1"},{"url":"/swagger/partner-v1/swagger.json","name":"GRUBBRR Partner Ordering API v1"}]) and https://api.merchant.grubbrr.com/swagger/index.html exactly one ([{"url":"/swagger/v1/swagger.json","name":"Grubbrr API V1"}]); all three fetched at 200 on 2026-09-18 at byte-identical sizes to the 318th (186,520 / 383,748 / 502,489 B, 276 paths, 61,129 tokens), and a nonsense group (/swagger/partner-v2/, /swagger/zzqnonsense/) 404s, so the manifest discriminates. The published order API states the mechanism affirmatively rather than merely omitting one: info.description "### Order lifecycle **validate -> submit -> poll status** ... POST /orders/submit accepts the order and returns 202 Accepted with status: PENDING before the POS confirms ... GET /orders/status/{sessionId} - poll until the order reaches a terminal SUBMITTED or FAILED state", and its own complete "Endpoints at a glance" table lists all 7 partner operations (auth/register, auth/refresh, menu, menu/availability, orders/validate, orders/submit, orders/status/{sessionId}) with no delivery/subscription endpoint among the spec's 20 paths. CONTROLS, tokenised over the 3 specs: callback*=1 (GET /api/clover/callback, a Clover OAuth redirect - poison), subscribe*=0, subscription*=1 (LocationSubscriptions, billing - poison), sse=0, websocket*=0, signalr=0, push*=2 (both "pusher", i.e. POST /api/pusher/auth channel auth for GRUBBRR's own UI), webhook*=10 and EVERY hit is POS-INBOUND or reflection poison: PosIntegrationDefinition.webhooksSupported / webhookIdField / webhookRecordName / webhookNextSyncTime, SnapshotSource enum "Unknown|ManualSync|Webhook|DailySync", and System.Reflection.EventAttributes/EventInfo/eventHandlerType (the .NET reflection graph, poison - it is why a naive event* count returns 7). CORROBORATION on two further complete censuses built this session. (1) console.grubbrr.com "GRUBBRR Enterprise Console" (SvelteKit): __vite__mapDeps in /_app/immutable/entry/app.BkIEgCT8.js lists 315 files, fetched to a fixpoint in 2 rounds = 324/324 at 200, 0 misses, 28.3 MB, 4,995,244 tokens; its 701 enumerated endpoints include /pusher, /pusher/auth, /pusher/user-auth, /xhr_send, /xhr_streaming (SockJS/Pusher for its own UI) and no webhook-subscription route; /PutEvents, /PutSubscribers, /PutSubscriptions, /GetEventsV3, /DownloadEventsV2 are the bundled AWS SDK (Amazon Connect/Pinpoint), poison.

Reliability, offline & operations

No

Order entry, ticket routing, and check printing continue on-terminal when the internet connection is lost.

reliability-offline-order-entry

Order entry cannot continue on-terminal without the internet because the documented per-order sequence is cloud-mediated at every step: the kiosk menu 'pulls all its menu data... from the client's POS via the Internet'; when a guest submits, the kiosk 'submits an order total back to the Portal', which 'submits the order total back to the POS for verification'; payment happens only after the verified total returns; the final order then flows kiosk to Portal to POS, and 'the GRUBBRR Portal returns the final order ID to the Kiosk, and the Kiosk prints a receipt' — so check printing and ticket routing (via the POS back-of-house) both sit downstream of the cloud hand-off. The vendor's own offline provision confirms the stop rather than continuity: 'How to Block Kiosk Ordering when the Device is Offline' (v12.5+) has the kiosk 'display a pop-up to let customers know that the device can't connect to the internet, and to speak to location staff instead'. When the agent/POS link fails mid-order the customer-facing result is an error, not a queued ticket ('No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it' — PixelPoint troubleshooting article).

Kitchen display and/or kitchen printer routing continues to function while offline.

reliability-offline-kds-printing

The only positive evidence is a marketing bullet on the KDS product page, 'Offline Functionality', asserting the KDS continues to function if systems go offline. No documentation supports or bounds it: across 282 knowledge base articles 'offline' appears only as a device-down condition to alert on, and GRUBBRR's documented offline provision runs the other way — 'How to Block Kiosk Ordering when the Device is Offline' has the kiosk display a pop-up telling customers to speak to staff instead. Order flow is cloud-mediated (kiosk to GRUBBRR to POS via the GRUBBRR Agent), and nothing states what is cached locally, for how long, or whether kitchen printer routing survives a WAN outage. Grade D because a product-page bullet is a claim, not a fact. https://grubbrr.com/products/kitchen-display-system/ · retrieved 2026-08-03

The system automatically fails over to a backup printer or KDS station when a configured kitchen printer is unreachable, and alerts staff.

Shortfall: no automatic failover. 'How to Manage Kitchens in the GRUBBRR Portal' assigns each kitchen one printer and/or one KDS with items mapped to it, and offers redundancy only as a manual configuration choice — print KOTs, use a KDS, or do both simultaneously.

The documented way to get a different price on a different parent is this article's route: build a separate modifier group under the individual item, where 'you can also add upcharges for specific modifiers in this table' — i.e. duplication, which the claim explicitly excludes. Size is a separate construct entirely ('Intro to Variation Modifiers': one variation group per item, each option carrying its own additive price) and does not intersect modifier pricing. For POS-integrated menus GRUBBRR does not set modifier prices at all. source
menu-pricing-topping-quantity-tiersunknown (grade F) — placeholder rationale 'No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass', which recorded that the cell was never examined rather than a finding of absence.resolve-to-partialQuantity/style tiers exist only as NCR modifier codes: 'codes- such as "no," "light," "extra," or "on the side"- can be selected by customers at the kiosk and will be printed on the KOT'. Shortfalls, all stated by the article: the feature is NCR-integration-only; 'GRUBBRR can not add or remove modifier codes from the Portal... All modifier codes must be defined in the client's POS before we pull the menu'; a maximum of four active codes per ingredient with one mandatory default; and no per-tier price multiplier is documented anywhere — the codes are described purely as prefixes sent to the kitchen printer. GRUBBRR's own quantity mechanism ('How to Enable Aggregate Mode for High Volume Modifiers', with Choice Increment and min/max aggregate quantities) is repeat-selection counting, which the claim distinguishes from tiering. source
payments-refund-void-controlsunknown (grade F) — placeholder rationale 'No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass', which recorded that the cell was never examined rather than a finding of absence.resolve-to-partialRefunds are documented and reasonably rich — Refund By Item, Refund by Amount and Full Refund from Orders > Detailed Orders, and the same full/partial refund flow from the Enterprise Console's Order History. Shortfalls: the control is back-office sign-in plus a Portal role privilege, not a manager PIN or approval prompt at the point of sale; no article describes an immutable audit log identifying the approver of a refund; and voids, comps and no-sales have no equivalent flow because there is no register or cash drawer. The article also warns the refund runs through a GRUBBRR virtual terminal and 'will not appear in your POS records'. source
kitchen-expo-consolidationunknown (grade F) — placeholder rationale 'No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass', which recorded that the cell was never examined rather than a finding of absence.resolve-to-partialAn expediter role exists as a distinct device: the OPB Order Update Flow configures four separate triggers — 'Completing an Order on the KDS', 'Completing an Order on the Expediter KDS', 'Highlighting an Order on the KDS' and 'Highlighting an Order on the Expediter' — each of which can move an order to Ready for Pickup or Picked Up. Combined with kitchen mapping ('How to Manage Kitchens in the GRUBBRR Portal': items are sent to a specific kitchen or all kitchens, each with its own printer and/or KDS). Shortfall: nothing in the knowledge base describes the expediter screen consolidating items from multiple prep stations into one order view, or gating order completion until every contributing station has bumped its items; the documented completion trigger is a single action on the expediter. source
digital-account-saved-paymentunknown (grade F) — placeholder rationale 'No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass', which recorded that the cell was never examined rather than a finding of absence.resolve-to-partialOne-tap reorder is present and is a default of the loyalty flow: a signed-in guest sees 'their past five Kiosk orders from any of your locations' and selecting an item 'will automatically apply all of the same customizations from the customer's past order'. Version 14 added the same flow for non-loyalty guests via a guest sign-in. Shortfalls: no tokenized saved card is documented anywhere — the only account-based payment methods in the knowledge base are ID Pay / Member Pay, prepaid monthly-allowance accounts keyed to a member ID or scanned ID card, and house accounts; and no saved-address concept exists, consistent with there being no first-party delivery. source
guest-loyalty-unified-profileunknown (grade F) — placeholder rationale 'No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass', which recorded that the cell was never examined rather than a finding of absence.resolve-to-partialA guest identity does span locations: signing in to loyalty on the kiosk surfaces 'their past five Kiosk orders from any of your locations', and GRUBBRR ships an in-house 'Frequent Customer' feature alongside third-party providers (Punchh, Como, Bruster's, OloPunchh). Shortfalls: the documented history is explicitly kiosk orders only and capped at five, with nothing describing merge of in-store POS or first-party web/app transactions into the same profile; identity is held by the loyalty provider, with GRUBBRR configuring only login method (QR, phone or email), points display and redemption; and no dedup/merge behaviour is documented in any article. source
guest-loyalty-lifecycle-automationunknown (grade F) — placeholder rationale 'No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass', which recorded that the cell was never examined rather than a finding of absence.resolve-to-noGRUBBRR does not ship campaign automation; it configures somebody else's loyalty engine. This article enumerates the entire loyalty surface GRUBBRR exposes — provider enablement, Punchh location/business keys, receipt features, redemption modes (scan-and-redeem, visit-based), maximum rewards per order, guest check codes, login method and display strings — and campaigns are not among them; the only lifecycle-adjacent item is a flag asking Punchh to collect date of birth and gender. Across all 282 articles the words 'campaign', 'birthday' (outside that flag) and 'win-back' do not appear. GRUBBRR's own CRM module is Members (prepaid ID Pay accounts) and guest surveys; its only guest messaging is on-screen behaviour-based messages and Toast-sourced order-ready SMS. source
labor-granular-rbacunknown (grade F) — placeholder rationale 'No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass', which recorded that the cell was never examined rather than a finding of absence.resolve-to-partialRoles are genuinely custom rather than fixed tiers: Users > Role Master > Add New, then 'privileges' to 'Grant the user access to the required features/settings', and 'we give users access to the company or location level'. Temporary users can additionally carry a start and end date. Shortfalls: the privilege set governs GRUBBRR Portal features and settings, not register actions — void, comp, drawer-open and price-change have no equivalent because there is no terminal or cash drawer; scoping is documented at two levels (company or location), not per location group; and the actual list of grantable privileges is published only as a screenshot inside the article, so the granularity cannot be verified from text. source
reporting-realtime-dashboardunknown (grade F) — placeholder rationale 'No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass', which recorded that the cell was never examined rather than a finding of absence.resolve-to-partialBrowser dashboards exist at both levels — a Company Dashboard tracking KPIs across all active locations plus a Location Dashboard with Sales, Item Mix, Payment Types and a KPI panel ('Introduction to the GRUBBRR Portal Dashboard'), and the Console's 'At a Glance' dashboard with Sales, Upsells, Device Health, Aborted Orders and Store Performance tiles. Shortfall on latency, stated by the vendor: 'This dashboard updates at 6 AM, 10 AM, 2PM, 6PM and 10PM Eastern Time every day' — five refreshes a day, not within minutes of the sale. The Portal dashboard's refresh cadence is not stated anywhere, and device telemetry is separately documented as heartbeat-based with up to a 15-minute lag. Second shortfall: no mobile app is documented for either console; every reporting article routes through a browser sign-in. source
reporting-pmix-modifier-levelunknown (grade F) — placeholder rationale 'No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass', which recorded that the cell was never examined rather than a finding of absence.resolve-to-partialA Product Mix report exists under Reports > Sales > Product Mix and 'will show the assortment of items sold for a specifically selected date filter... can also be refined to show items from a specific category'. Shortfalls: the documented breakdown is item-level with a category filter only — no modifier-level line, and no daypart or revenue-centre filter; the article does not state which measures the report carries (the quantity/gross/net breakdown the claim asks for is described for the Z Report, not for Product Mix). The Console's separate 'Products' insight page likewise 'tracks the performance of individual menu items' with no modifier dimension. source
multi-location-org-hierarchyunknown (grade F) — placeholder rationale 'No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass', which recorded that the cell was never examined rather than a finding of absence.resolve-to-partialMore than a flat list: the Console has a Scope tool switching between Enterprise and Location views, an Organizations object administered under Support > Organizations & Users, and a grouping layer above the store that reporting uses — 'Store Performance provides a detailed breakdown of the active location against other locations in the organization/location group' — with a 'Location Group ID' issued by GRUBBRR Operations during Clover Sport setup. Shortfalls: the group tier is never documented as an operator-manageable object (no article covers creating or editing a location group), and permissions do not scope to it — 'How to manage Users & Roles' places user access at 'the company or location level' only, so the third level exists for analytics but not for permission grants. source
multi-location-central-menu-publishunknown (grade F) — placeholder rationale 'No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass', which recorded that the cell was never examined rather than a finding of absence.resolve-to-partialEnterprise Configuration Management is real central authoring: a Master Menu Dataset built from all onboarded POS menus, custom datasets defining which categories/items each cohort offers, a parallel Master Kiosk settings dataset, and deployment jobs where 'we can assign which locations will be included, which datasets to share, and when to apply the changes', clonable for later updates. Shortfalls named by the vendor: 'With ECM, we don't have a one-button "push to Kiosk" option; instead, we set up custom deployments' — publishing is a configured job, not a single action; and no publish/version history recording what was pushed, when and by whom is documented for deployments (the 'Menu Audits' and GEM user-event tracking in the v15 notes cover menu record changes, not deployment runs). source
multi-location-price-zonesunknown (grade F) — placeholder rationale 'No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass', which recorded that the cell was never examined rather than a finding of absence.resolve-to-noThe docs enumerate what is authored centrally and price is deliberately excluded: 'Categories, Items, Modifier Groups, Modifiers, Combos, Upsells, and Discounts are all configured at the Company level. Menu Prices, Item 86 Status, General settings, and Kiosk settings are all configured at the Location level', and 'All menu prices are still defined at the location level.' The ECM path says the same — 'When an organization uses ECM controls, prices are managed by the POS at each individual location' — and the v14.6 enhancement was only the ability to view location pricing from the enterprise menu manager, not set it. There is therefore no price tier/zone object: differential pricing is inherited from each store's POS, and no per-channel or per-daypart price variant is documented either. source
reliability-offline-kds-printingunknown (grade F) — placeholder rationale 'No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass', which recorded that the cell was never examined rather than a finding of absence.resolve-to-partialThe only positive evidence is a marketing bullet on the KDS product page, 'Offline Functionality', asserting the KDS continues to function if systems go offline. No documentation supports or bounds it: across 282 knowledge base articles 'offline' appears only as a device-down condition to alert on, and GRUBBRR's documented offline provision runs the other way — 'How to Block Kiosk Ordering when the Device is Offline' has the kiosk display a pop-up telling customers to speak to staff instead. Order flow is cloud-mediated (kiosk to GRUBBRR to POS via the GRUBBRR Agent), and nothing states what is cached locally, for how long, or whether kitchen printer routing survives a WAN outage. Grade D because a product-page bullet is a claim, not a fact. source
reliability-printer-fallbackunknown (grade F) — placeholder rationale 'No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass', which recorded that the cell was never examined rather than a finding of absence.resolve-to-partialThe alerting half of the claim is documented and specific: with 'Send Device Status Email from Cockpit' enabled, named recipients 'receive email updates within fifteen minutes of your Kiosks, printers, payment devices, or GRUBBRR agents experiencing changes in their status, such as running out of paper or losing internet connectivity', and the Console's System Health page flags devices as operational, 'partially up', in error or offline. Shortfall: no automatic failover. 'How to Manage Kitchens in the GRUBBRR Portal' assigns each kitchen one printer and/or one KDS with items mapped to it, and offers redundancy only as a manual configuration choice — print KOTs, use a KDS, or do both simultaneously. No article describes rerouting to a backup printer or KDS station when the configured device is unreachable. source
payments-gift-cardsunknown (grade F) - placeholder rationale 'No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass', which recorded that the cell was never examined rather than a finding of absence.resolve-to-partialSwept all 282 articles in the GRUBBRR knowledge base for 'gift'; three articles match. Redemption is documented only as a third-party integration in the v14 release notes' Payments section: 'Paytronix Giftcard - Users must enter the Gift Card Number on the Kiosk to redeem their balance'. Sale is a location-level toggle, 'Allow Purchase of Gifts Cards using Kiosk' (Common Kiosk Configurations). The v14 beta notes mention 'gift card and stored value screens' only in a kiosk-timeout bugfix. Shortfalls that hold this below yes: no first-party issuance or balance ledger is documented - the balance lives in Paytronix and is read by keying the card number; no cross-location redemption scope is stated; and no online-ordering-channel gift card flow exists in the docs. Not 'no', because a working purchase-and-redeem path is positively documented. source
hardware-offline-modeunknown (grade F) - placeholder rationale 'No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass', which recorded that the cell was never examined rather than a finding of absence.resolve-to-noThe vendor's own help centre states the offline behaviour and it is a stop, not a degraded mode: 'How to Block Kiosk Ordering when the Device is Offline' (v12.5+) blocks orders and shows 'a pop-up to let customers know that the device can't connect to the internet, and to speak to location staff instead'; its summary says 'the Kiosk will automatically direct customers to the POS if the device is offline'. 'Introduction to POS Integrations' documents why nothing can continue: every order round-trips the cloud mid-transaction (order total to Portal, 'the Portal submits the order total back to the POS for verification', payment only after the verified total returns, receipt only after the Portal returns the POS Order ID). No article documents offline capture, offline cash recording, or an enumerated degraded-functions list; KB searches (offline, internet, network connection, store and forward) across the 282 published articles return only device-down alerting and this blocking flag. The KDS product page's 'Offline Functionality' marketing bullet concerns the kitchen display only and is already bounded at reliability-offline-kds-printing. source
reliability-offline-order-entryunknown (grade F) - placeholder rationale 'No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass', which recorded that the cell was never examined rather than a finding of absence.resolve-to-noThe documented per-order data flow is cloud-mediated at every step: menu data 'pulls... from the client's POS via the Internet'; the kiosk 'submits an order total back to the Portal'; 'the Portal submits the order total back to the POS for verification'; payment is taken only after the verified total returns; and 'the GRUBBRR Portal returns the final order ID to the Kiosk, and the Kiosk prints a receipt' - check printing and ticket routing both sit downstream of the cloud hand-off. The vendor's documented offline provision is to stop ordering ('Block Kiosk when Offline' pop-up directing guests to staff), and the documented mid-order failure mode when the POS link drops is a customer-facing error ('No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it', PixelPoint troubleshooting). No article documents local caching, offline queueing or store-and-forward. Positive evidence of absence per the evidence rules: the vendor's own support pages state the limitation and enumerate the alternative (send guests to staff/POS). source

commercial-autorenew-terms-publishedno, grade C - No contract terms, renewal term or cancellation-notice window is publicly accupgrade-to-yesThe cited https://www.grubbrr.com/pricing/ now redirects to https://grubbrr.com/request-a-demo/, a demo booking form with no terms and no figures, so the original basis is gone. Walking grubbrr.com/page-sitemap.xml surfaced /general-terms/ (200, full contract text, last updated March 3rd 2023) alongside /kiosk-eula/ and an archived copy at /general-terms/archive/. Section 9.3.2 states a 36-month initial subscription term, automatic renewal for successive 12-month periods, and written notice at least 30 days before expiry of the initial or then-current renewal term. That is exactly what the claim asks for, published on the open web, so the no does not survive. source
commercial-pricing-publishedno, grade C - The vendor's own pricing page publishes no subscription tiers, hardware costs upgrade-to-partialRe-fetched the cited URL: https://www.grubbrr.com/pricing/ 301s to https://grubbrr.com/request-a-demo/, a lead form, so the original evidence is dead. Enumerated grubbrr.com/page-sitemap.xml (68 pages) and fetched every candidate. /request-a-demo/, /faq/, /grubbrr-guarantee/ and /products/self-ordering-kiosk-machine/ contain no dollar amounts; the Bojangles, Church's, Pita Pit, Ziggi's, Boar's Head, Dairy Queen Texas and NCR Voyix reseller order forms contain none either. /daves-hot-chicken-franchisee/ does: hardware and installation at $500 per line item and "Kiosk SaaS per Month $150 - Two kiosks per location". Specific per-location software pricing is published on the vendor's public site, which defeats a flat no, but there is no general price list and no per-additional-terminal figure, so partial is the honest value. source
commercial-hardware-purchase-outrightunknown / F - "Kiosk hardware is clearly sold or placed, but no prices and no purchase-vs-lease tresolve-to-partialThe rationale predates the discovery of grubbrr.com/general-terms/ via page-sitemap.xml. I retrieved the General Terms in full: 1.8 states "Hardware purchased hereunder is resold to You by GRUBBRR" and Schedule 1 applies expressly to "Your purchase of Hardware pursuant to an Order", covering delivery FOB Shipping Point, title and risk of loss, fees due on execution, and pass-through OEM warranty - so purchase-vs-lease terms ARE published and purchase is the default route. The lease alternative is separate and optional: HaaS is defined at 1.9 as subscription provision, and its no-title/no-right-to-purchase language sits only in that schedule. Not a full yes, because published prices remain thin - the sole first-party figures are on the Dave's Hot Chicken franchisee order form ($500 kiosk, $500 stand or wall mount, $500 setup and installation), with no KDS or printer pricing and no general list price. source

GRUBBRR has Employee Management with per-employee 4-digit access codes used to log in and out of devices, and its Z Report carries an Employee Attendance section listing employee shifts and hours. No clock-in or clock-out procedure is documented and GRUBBRR ships no POS terminal of its own, so partial rather than yes. source
inventory-recipe-bom-costingno (grade F), uncited: no inventory or recipe-costing module in the published catalog.upheldThe premise was false -- an inventory module is published -- but the verdict survives on better evidence: the module tracks finished menu items only, and recipe occurs zero times across all 283 knowledge-base articles.
